Click on the title of the class and read the course description. Make sure you have satisfied the prerequisite requirements for the course you are trying to register for. If you have not satisfied the prerequisite requirement, consider registering for the pre-req course(s) instead. If you have satisfied the pre-reqs, but still receive the error, email the Undergraduate Director to ask for registration assistance. Include your panther id number, the CRN that you want to register for, course number, and the semester that you are trying to register for.

Usually, the XL capacity seats have been designated to another population of students in a cross-listed course in another program or department and are not available to anyone who asks. Check the other sections for space.  The Philosophy department checks the capacity in the courses with available XL seats and may release those seats to the sections in demand, if possible.

The Philosophy department does not maintain waitlists for closed courses. However, you can add yourself to the waitlist for a full course through your PAWS account. Please refer to the registration assistance website for further instructions on the waitlist.

Please continue to watch PAWS to see if a seat becomes available in the course you wish to take. If you are trying to take a course required for you to graduate in the next semester, email the instructor.

Course offerings change every semester. For the most up-to-date information, check the course schedule on PAWS.
